# Dropbox Business

Dropbox Business is cloud-based storage, sharing, and collaboration solution (see <https://www.dropbox.com/business>). You can protect access to Dropbox Business by integrating Dropbox Business with Identity as a Service. Once integrated, users can use single sign-on to log in to their Dropbox Business account through Identity as a Service.

note

This integration was tested using Identity as a Service version 5.13 and Dropbox Business trial release November 2020. Other versions of Dropbox Business may require integration and configuration steps that differ from those documented in this procedure. For other versions of Dropbox Business, use this procedure as a starting point for integrating Dropbox Business. In the event of other issues, contact <support@entrust.com> for assistance.
